The Municipal Museum "Ioan Raica" in Sebeș showcases a significant religious manuscript from the 18th century, a Penticostar combined with a printed Strastnic from 1753. This exhibit highlights the cultural and religious history of Transylvania. The manuscript, containing 290 unnumbered pages, was donated by the Romanian Orthodox Parish of Petrești in 1957. Initially attributed to a monk named Vasile Săceleanu, further research revealed the scribe's true name was Euthimie. The manuscript's history is intertwined with local traditions, suggesting connections to a wooden church in Petrești and the events leading to the Sofronie uprising. This exhibit emphasizes the importance of religious manuscripts in preserving Romanian spiritual heritage.
